Given the comparative shortage of hard news stories at this time of year that are not everywhere else, Andy Borowitz has a fantastic piece on Pat Robertson’s love for the LGBT community. The irony here is that, funny as he is, Andy cannot hold a candle to Robertson’s own extreme antics.
VIRGINIA BEACH (The Borowitz Report) – Rev. Pat Robertson sparked controversy in today’s broadcast of his 700 Club program when he claimed that God created the blizzard currently battering the Northeast "to punish Americans who were planning to drive to do something gay."
Explaining his theory, Rev. Robertson said, "Because of the bad road conditions the Almighty has made, any gay activities that people were planning on doing will have to be postponed by a day or two."
Additionally, he argued, God shut down major airports in the New York area "so that people who were hoping to fly to do something of a gay nature would have to take a train or a bus, so it might be days before the gay thing they were going to do could occur."
As for the millions of straight people in New York City who were also grounded by the bad weather, the televangelist said, "I think God probably wonders, if these people are really straight, then what are they doing in New York?"…

I can’t help but remember the time Robertson prophesied that God would strike Disney World with a hurricane to punish them for ending their discrimination against hiring gay employees. The next hurricane made landfall at Virginia Beach and damaged Robertson’s own headquarters. Doesn’t God have a great sense of humor?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The irony that eludes the Theocons is Jesus condemned the rich, but never the gays.
Shhhh! They aren’t supposed to know that Dave. 😉
The amazing thing is that some people actually listen to this asshole.
Ignorance knows no bounds.
” Doesn’t God have a great sense of humor?” Just goes to show you, don’t mess with her!
She can be a real ball-breaker! 😉
I think the story is a joke, unfortunately — Borowitz is a comedian.
Unless the National Weather Service also really said “It’s as white as a Glenn Beck rally out there.”
But where Robertson’s concerned, it can be hard to tell.
Infidel, I presented it as a joke, calling it funny, and tagging it both humor and satire. Robertson would never have said something so tame.
Pat Robertson is a pompous phony who abandoned his wife in labor to go on some religious retreat. The guy is a real wacko!
That he is, Jack.
Does this man do nothing but spread hate? I’m sure the Lord will send him somewhere where there is no snow. He preaches the bible, he ought to read it.
Welcome, Victor! 🙂
I trust Robertson has read the Bible many times. He could not string together references out of context to misrepresent the true meaning so well without specific knowledge and foul intent.
